Gaines’ impressive catalogue grew with Toward The Sun, produced by Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Bonnie Raitt, and Crowded House). The Boston Globe declared that “Gaines’ soulful, wounded vocals make a case for his being one of pop’s finest singers…an artist who deserves far more attention than some of his more hyped, yet less talented peers.” Mojo noted, “This established soul-folkie’s sexy growl has an underlying edge, making it a memorable album. Heartfelt unpretentious.”
Throughout his career, Gaines has built a rapport with his fans unlike any other in popular music today. Gaines goes as far as letting his fans influence the songs he performs each night. “When it's just me playing, I only know the first song I’m going to play, but from there the energy and the vibe tell me what the next song is gonna be. Someone may yell a song, and I’m like ‘Exactly! Good call.’ That’s so fun to me, keeping it really exciting and spontaneous. I don’t even know what's around the corner, and the crowd doesn’t either.”
Jeffrey Gaines Live is the singer/songwriter's sixth release and perhaps the one which means the most to him since it is a special tribute to his fans. “This live CD/DVD-Plus is really cool for me, something I am so very proud of. We have songs from every little period of my career and it’s sort of a thank you to the fans who have been with me, and for those who are new to my music, I would love it if they come on board. We’re ready for you. We’ve always been ready for you, so c’mon.” WACBIZ welcomes this very powerful singer-songwriter!
